If you're looking to earn 100%, these "Zelda" items make that much harder. For this list, we’ll be looking at trinkets and weapons from “The Legend of Zelda” that require a bit more effort than others. Our list of the hardest items to get in "Zelda" games includes the Colossal Wallet from “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD” (2016), the Super Net from “The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds” (2013), Hestu’s Gift from “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” (2023), and more! If we left off an item that took you an absurd amount of time or work to obtain, let us know about it in the comments.

Hmmm...I would have gone with the absurdly sturdy shield from Skyward Sword. While the goal of achieving the Tycoon Wallet is simply just tedious and drawn out, going through the Lightning Round to acquire what is essentially the Hylian Shield tests your battle skills as well as your ability to stretch the longevity of your health. But, to each their own, I guess
I would say the Master Cycle Zero. You had to do all 4 divine beasts, and then do a series of challenges and then ANOTHER divine beast! In my opinion, that was way too long for me, but was a fun journey to get it.
The master cycle zero
Nobody has mentioned the 4th bottle in ocarina of time obtained by killing all the big poes.
There was one poe that appeared for 0.001 seconds. Never could gatera all
So true it was so freaking annoying 😅
I took... 3 HOURS DOING THE GERUDO TRAINING GROUNDS... BUT HEAR ME OUT I WAS ONLY 11
That's how the f u got it?!?😢😡
@@chavin3you’re talking about the big poe right after you cross the broken bridge outside hyrule castle. If you just keep chasing it you’ll get a bigger time window to kill it. If you’re talking about the one on the very left of hyrule castle across the river. You gotta position yourself better.
The fierce diety mask was the perfect amount of grinding for an item You got items to help you in the process in getting the fierce diety mask and the side quests for getting them weren’t boring or too long or just finding a material 70% of the time And some of the side quests like the Anju Kafei quest were super thought out
And to think apart from the korok seeds it’s the longest on this list
The only thing I hated about the fierce diety mask, was the goron trial, if you were just a pixel off from those chests, you failed
That is true. Majoras Mask is a masterpice
There's still 900 korok puzzles in TotK, but 100 of them give you two seeds.
You forgot the Fairy Tears on Twilight Princess, you need to pass all fifty flors at the Cave of Ordeals
The Hylian shield in Skyward Sword is a pain in the a$$ to get.
Yeah. I can only fight the Imprisoned so many times before I want to scream, too. It's even worse on hero mode. What I'd do is drink a guardian potion before talking to Lanayru. Helped a little.
Yep, that was pretty tough
Agreed.
I was about to say that lol. I did get it eventually but it still took a few tries and I hated it
@@Zero-fp2rk This is exactly what someone whos never done this would say. Even if you have and it was "easy" for you, doesnt mean it is for everyone else.
The fully awakened Master Sword (BotW). Especially in Master Mode.
Why on earth did the Ice Arrows from OoT make this list but not Biggoron’s Sword???
That's what I want to know.
One is actually hard, the other is a tedious fetch quest.
Because this channel is poop
my question is why ice arrows instead of the 4th bottle
@@charlesmwolfTrue
The fully upgraded Master Sword from Trial of the Sword is hard.
That freaking Lizalfos room on the easy trials in Master Mode!
@@REDFRLegendI had to look up a KZhead tutorial because I couldn’t get pass that room😂
@@winstonwilsonfit There's a tutorial!? I can finally beat it after almost 5 years?! Thank you for telling me this!
@@REDFRLegend no problem 😂
That was the only room I Actualy found to be legit unfair
Honostly, most of these sound pretty easy compared to getting the Link & King of Red Lions figurine in Wind Waker on GameCube.
Fully upgrading the Ancient Hero's Aspect is insanely difficult. It requires all kinds of rare materials and zonaite. The last upgrade even requires a freaking NINE Gleeok guts, and they're only a 10% chance drop. The King Gleeoks drop guts 100% of the time, but there are only four of them. So you have to rely on blood moons if you really want that 84-defense.
I was very lucky enough to be able to completely upgrade the ancient hero aspect thru duplication glitches. I am so sorry for everyone else.
Yeah. I ended up simulating panic blood moons with opals and a 5 shot Lynel bow. Makes farming easier since like you mentioned, only 4 per map.
@@AmitApolloBarman what I did was back before patch 1.2 I would go to the chasm where you go to the construct factory, shoot multishot bows in between loading zones and it would dupe stuff no problem.
Not worth it. There is better armor you can use.
@@rp7921 You don't get 100% for just obtaining that though. You need all the Korok seeds and other crap too. I kind of called it quits after doing every shrine and defeating Rehydrated Ganondorf.
The Ice Arrows in OOT are FAR easier to obtain than the Biggoron Sword is.
The ice arrows were more a pain than anything, since you can get soft locked in the trial (or at least I did), not sure if that fixed in the 3DS version
@@UnclePhil1112 Yes, but executing the trial is a matter of knowing compared to the stupid three minutes you had for the eye drop portion of the Biggoron sword.
@@Kasigi03 and you can’t even warp to Lake Hylia, which means getting Epona is the number one priority, and then you just b-line it to wherever you gotta go
@@UnclePhil1112 Well opposed to you, I could never get the sword and Ice Arrows were never a problem for me. But they are also the most useless item in the game for the most part.
That dancing minigame bringing out war flashbacks...
O.o.T my opinion, the big goron sword, is much more harder to get. That obscure fetch quest. And only then, will you get it. It's difficult, but harder.
Ocarina of Time? That quest is easy.
It’s an easy quest, just tedious
Does anyone else wonder if the inclusion of the Ancient Hero's Aspect in TOTK points to a possible trilogy and a new Zelda with the launch of the next system?
I’ve been really curious about that too
So many ppl have been trying to fit BOTW and TOTK into the Zelda canon timeline😂😂 BOTW and TOTK not only exist in its own timeline They have effectively erased every timeline before those two How u might ask At the beginning of TOTK Zelda and Link are still in the BOTW timeline That is until Zelda picks up the time stone and it transports Zelda to ancient Hyrule And becomes a Dragon for 10 thousand years As this became a fixed point in time All other timelines would cease to exist Even BOTW’s Champions timeline As Zelda was not present(pun intended) to form the champions Instead she formed the sages in ancient Hyrule Effectively erasing the BOTW story line and all previous story lines as Zelda’s 10’000 years as a dragon kept her incapacitated Thus TOTK is now the only timeline in existence The Tri-force hasnt even been created yet in this timelien As the Tri-Force was created in the sacred realm and the Sacred realm no being introduced yet It is safe to assume that yes there will be a third installment that…wait for it…will introduce the Tri-Force as a means of returning the timeline back to its original path Or that is my theory
They literally mention the champions in TOTK bro😂 they even have a shrine for Mipha @ Zora’s Domain named Mipha Court 😂😂 the gerudo mention Urbosa practicing and actually say’s she will probably never be as strong as Urbosa and the Goron’s mention Daruk plenty of times too
They recently confirmed the next Zelda will be a different world and another play style. DLC for TOTK has been said to not happen
@@milo6169Not everyone reads and listens to every interview. Let people have fun and speculate. Also, nobody mentioned DLC, reusing the same world, etc. Just the idea of a trilogy to the story where we see and learn about the Ancient Hero.
Am I the only one that found the hero of the wild set harder to obtain than the ancient hero’s aspect? I personally found the shrines in breath of the wild much more difficult (and fun) from a puzzles standpoint. In tears of the kingdom there weren’t really many puzzles I where I was stumped, even while doing them all the intended way (I wanted to respect Nintendo’s efforts in creating these puzzles, rather than cheesing them and defeating the point of the shrines). Also, while totk has many more shrines, most of them are blessings anyways so one could say that more time/dedication would be required for botw shrines.
The blessing ones are tied to overworld puzzles…..there’s more overworld puzzles in totk
@@FreakingAngryPirate Yeah I can see where you're coming from, but I mean they're mostly the same thing, being the "carry the crystal" quest. Some blessing shrines could be found just by walking into some random cave too. Sure there are a couple of overworld puzzles in totk (imo not too much of the puzzle aspect involved), but I feel that botw had a more diversified/interesting set of pre-shrine puzzles (i.e. who took the orb in kakariko village, mystery of the 8 heriones in the desert, etc)
Suprised Majoras Mask wasn't mentioned in Tears of the Kingdom. The Lynel Gauntlet was a unpleasant suprise!
Not gonna lie it took many tries for me to get the big quiver in ocarina of time. But also the Big Goron Sword from oot.
All heart containers in terminal field are designed to make you cry 😩
Just got the Ancient Hero’s Aspect and fully upgraded it. It was a lot of fun. Now I’m ready to take on the end of the game.
The mirror shield from Minish Cap made me furious
The 3 day - Anju & Kafei trading sequence leading to the Couples Mask in Majora's Mask. Especially when it came out in pre - KZhead 2000, and you couldn't exactly Google every little secret and actually had to do some old school Zelda style - exploring.
"Hestu's Gift" isn't worth all that trouble. Just get the required amount of Korok Seeds needed to max out inventory in either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom and be done with it. The former requires 451 while the latter requires 421. Only reason the latter game requires less is because there are fewer bow slot upgrades. On the other hand, the "Hero of the Wild" set in both games is WORTH the trouble for the classic look. "Ancient Hero's Aspect" on the other hand is too much of a hassle to toggle back and forth with protective gear for environmental hazards since it acts as ALL THREE pieces of armor at once. So if you remove the aforementioned item for literally anything else, Link will need to be given the missing pieces of a particular set. Not to mention he ends up "in the buff" if you finish the game wearing it.
That on heart piece in Minish Cap you get for collecting all those figures
He said at the beginning no heart pieces would be included but I think that's definitely one of the hardest heart pieces to get and harder than most of the ones on the list.
The Tingle Trophy as well. Finding all 100 kinstones to fuse is pretty hard.
One final key in the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time. I was stuck for a month.
Ice arrows? WTH, that's a standard weapon I breeze through every playthrough. Replace Ice Arrows with the Master Cycle Zero.
Great video! I feel like finding all the shrines in totk was easier than botw since I found all the light roots while riding my hoverscooter. It was the underground and sky shrines that were the hardest to track down.
So for Minnish cap you chose the mirror shield when the obvious answer should have been the heart piece in the music house.
Awesome Video.
The fact that I have a bit more than half of this list really speaks to my obsession.
Agree with many but not with the minish cap one, the hardest is getting the gold badge for completing the figurine collection, as it requiers a lot of Shell, ruppees and paciencie
Thanks for reminding all the players their pain
I guess I can't say it belonged here, but I was sort of expecting to see the Hero's/Hylian Shield, from Skyward Sword. From what I've heard, getting through the necessary parts of the Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round, to earn it, is actually harder than just beating Akuma without it, at the end of the game, and that includes the fact Demise even knows how to use Akuma's soul destroying ultimate on your orherwise breakable shields. I guess I don't know; Skyward Sword is my personal least liked Zelda game, so I've never gotten it, but I've heard the unbreakable shield is harder to get than any challenge it will be helpful to have it for. I DID get the Master Sword in the Oracle series, and the other items that needed high-end trading between both games, and some of that was pretty substantial.
Biggoron's sword in ocarina of time was pretty difficult. I'm surprised there was no mention of that.
I don’t think it was difficult. Only took like 15 minutes.
The next Zelda wallet will come with an AirTag. 😃
I don't even bother trying to get Hestu's gift but my sister was actually crazy enough to obtain it. I don't know if she succeeded with TOTK. Getting the Hero's Charm isn't worth it even though I have managed to get down there. I think I did complete the Gratitude Crystal side quest once. I got the Super Lamp and Net before. I did fight the old man who may be Link's grandpa and you need all items in order to fight him. 5:47 This isn't hard, just tedious. I did do both because I feel like I have to do every shrine. It's better than Hestu's gift. I got the Fierce Deity Mask on my first playthrough. I heard about this mask before then so I had an idea of how to get it. 7:57 I honestly don't know how I managed to do this. The Mirror Shield in Minish Cap is completely useless. By the time you get it you already finished the game. I never got the Bomber's Ring legit. I cheated. 11:08 F**K YOU!
Did they change something about the training ground in ocarina of time 3D? I can't get further. I mean I have no keys but I've walked through the training grounds a thousand times in search for more but there's none. Did they reduce the keys that can be found or increased the doors?
Of all the zelda games i completed 100%. Forget Koroks, I found the infuriating motion controls of the Skyward Sword sing along in the bar the worst. I could never complete that enraging sidequest for the heartpiece and so never got the last gratitude crystals. Even the Switch version I cannot do it. I mastered all the bosses in each Zelda game easily, but got stuck on motion control music...what a tragedy,...
What about the Great Fairy tears in Twilight Princess? You have to go through 50 levels of the cave of ordeals to get those.
Hetsu's Gift should be under the most tedious item to get. Upgrading the inventory in Age of Calamity was easier than wandering around Hyrule looking for hidden Koroks
The Trials of the Sword in "Breath of the Wild" to upgrade your Master Sword is really a test of patience and adversity. The only way I can complete these Trials is by glitching in the walls. I'm still on Trial 2
It was so worth it getting all the masks, and I never once thought of it as grinding, just felt like it completed the game. Link between worlds was also super fun, the coliseum was actually really easy if you had everything upgraded, and I play it for the rupees, as you get like 5000 at the end. (Helpful if like me you think it’d be sick to buy the golden bee, even though it’s so easy to get for free💀)
Cool video
The great fairy sword and biggeron swordare both pretty challenging too
Biggorons sword. Now that was a painful experience. For me, that tops anything on this list.
I was not happy to finish the savage labyrinth to find out that they had replaced the heart piece with the hero's charm.
Yeah they replaced that heart piece with one of the extra treasure charts they added compensating for them removing triforce charts. Funnily enough the original release of wind waker in Japan had a yellow rupee as a troll at the end of the labyrinth and instead that heart piece is underneath Grandma’s house.
I don’t know if this is the same thing but can you do a list on the hardest chests to get in Zelda games???
I got the Hylian shield in TOTK!
I have the Hero's Aspect in TOTK but not the Wild set in BOTW I am 1 shrine left but can't find it.
If we were including heart pieces, the heart piece in minish cap with the figurines is THE hardest thing to obtain in any Zelda game ever
Even though I had a prima guide. Getting fierce deity was hard to get as a kid
Not sure if it’s on here but master mode on botw trial of the sword and twilight princess maximum wallet with the cave of shadows
To quote the great Chuggaaconroy. Whoever came up with the Goron Dance Mnigame should be forced to eat a jar of toenail clippings, have the horn honked on them while under the hood of their car, be forced to walk across a hundred-yards of LEGOs bare-foot, get told knock-knock jokes while they're trying to sleep, and contract the stomach flu.
Biggoron's Sword Ocarina of Time The number of steps you have to take to get the biggoron's sword, some of them with a tight timer, puts it above and beyond other items.
And you can't use the warp songs either
Anything after 50 gold skulltulas makes you a legend
The ancient hero's aspect did take a long time but i got it
Many an 80s kid will tell you... the Hammer in Zelda 2. With no guide and no internet you just took your ass into Death Mountain knowing the hammer... they key to the rest of the game was in there. Somewhere. Somewhere in that maze that harbors alligators wielding axes is the hammer. Where? Who knows? But you've got 3 lives to do it or you have to go back to the beginning and try again.
The hero of the wild set is easier than the ancient aspect since you beat 120 shrines to 152 I think
I never got the colossal wallet from TP. Tried the cave of ordeals with wolf link once and nah screw that.
Why was the title on the scrub bar “Introduction to Piss Shivers”?
I didnt know about the charm from ww I gotta boot my gc back up lol
BTOW shrine completion is waaaaaaay harder than TOTK, it's not even close -TOTK shrines are easier since your abilities are overpowered -the depths literally tell you the location of every shrine
11:07 Link assaults innocent bystander
The variety helps torture koroks.
With how much the Zelda games rely on stamina, I’m surprised that they don’t have a difficult unlock-able that gives Link unlimited stamina. If one did exist, it should be able to be placed on this list.
Great
Ye
honestly I think that the hardest item to get is the Piece of Heart in The Minish Cap where you need the stupid figurines
Im suprised of the majoras mask from tears of the kingdom isnt on there and master sword trials from breath of the wild
Hestus gift should be way higher
Not challenging quests!? 😂 Did you forget the pumpkins? 😂
Honestly, what they did in the HD remake of wind Waker just to get the heroes term was a mistake
I still think the BotW korok hunts were harder and longer due to the ones reaching their friends giving you two seeds and a lot of the puzzles being much easier in TotK
There’s only 100 of the korok friends ones. So it’s 900 puzzles. For unlocking inventory those hundred make it easy. Also if you play BOTW first you already had an idea of how korok puzzles work.
@@rjgaynor8 I just mean I had less trouble and I'm taking about the boulder into the three pronged trees and catching the dandelion seed. I had some troubles with the BotW apple tree matching (finding them was hard enough) and some of the block puzzle ones but one was removed and the other one made easier. Just my opinion, we are all entitled to that. What's your opinion... which did you find more difficult?
@@Ruizon1 I found both to be annoying. And the dandelion one took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out. I refuse to use guides. Also finding the pads on the sides of the sky islands was painful.
Bro didn’t even acknowledge the hilian shield from skyward sword
I'm pausing before the start of the video to tell y'all that I'm coming back here when I obtain all of these items
I can beat Gerudo Training Ground in OoT in like 15 minutes. You mean to tell me that finding 900 koroks is easier?
Give hestus gift more rank, I got typhoon wallet about ten times quicker
I think hardest think to get breath of wild was motorbike I had everything to get that means when got it the game was all full complete it is harder then anything because it includes everything and the collecting thr skullsteas and poes in OoT and twilight princess where harder but not needed
How did the hero's aspect get on the list yet not the upgraded master sword in botw and majora's mask in totk
Majora's Mask is not hard to get.
@@coryfreake9070 still harder than most of the things on the list, 5 lynels is pretty hard for anyone who hasn't played for 100hrs
@@JesusisLord756 Harder than what?
I guess Tri-Force Heroes is a spin-off isn't it? Getting the Sword Master suit is nigh impossible if you are soloing that game. Three of the most challenging to get items are needed to make it.
I thought I got that one but it was just the Sword Suit. I had to take out my dusty copy just to confirm this.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 Honesty the three unique suits are almost impossible. The Cactus suit and the Cheetah suit as well. It's just that the three items for the Sword Master suit are locked behind the hardest of challenges on the hardest levels. That game broke my heart because I thought it would be so much cooler then it was. I thought the doppels would run around and help you, not be useless placeholders for an obnoxious game mechanic. That was why I was excited when I saw the abandoned doppel in the town hub screen. I thought at some point you would get to use it there.
@@sonicguyver7445 The doppels should follow you. Seriously, it worked so well in Four Swords Adventures. Why remove it? It made the game far more annoying.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 I thought you would use the touchscreen to give them orders. Things like "Fight" and they go after all enemies on screen. Or "Defend" and they stick close to you. Maybe even "Treasure hunt" and they start attacking bushes and other things looking for rupees and hearts. It frustrated me so much I started writing a story based in Animal Crossing where a wolf guy named Conner is building doppels to go adventuring with. He is taking apart gyroids for parts to build them as well.
@@sonicguyver7445 Reminds me of Connor in Assassin's Creed 3. He had a wolf skin outfit in his DLC adventure.

im suprised majoras mask from tears of the kingdom isnt on there
THE FIERCE DEITY mask was easy for me i think i got it without knowing
More cowbell!
Honestly, I don't think the Gruedo Training Ground is that bad.🙄
It took me a while to get bigorons sword
You forgot the triforce in oot took me years
You don't actually get that. That's just concept screenshots that Nintendo had.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 you just got to believe like me
No Biggorons Sword from OoT?? C'mon now.
The Breathe Bike 🚲
The only one whos worth it it's the Fierce Deity mask
I've found like 200 seeds. 900 wow
im calling hestus gift as the hardest and I havent watched it yet
Replace that minish cap ltem with the heart piece for getting all those damn figurines
Majoras mask in tears of the kingdom
bro he said that skyward was made in 2021 and wind waker in 2013
Goron sword?
The absolute HARDEST item to find in all of the Zelda games is the money required to buy them all
Hetsu's gift was the biggest letdown of both botw and totk for me b/c while i can get behind collecting items to upgrade your inventory capacity, you use not even half of the korok seeds to fully upgrade and your reward for collecting them all is a literal piece of poop. You can hold a unlimited supply of armor, food and other things but when it came to your weapons, nintendo goes, 'nah let the players use half of them for upgrades and getting them all earns them poop, literally.' F@$k you nintendo for wasting several hours of my life
Skyward sword: The hylian shield in New game +
Oracle of seasons not ages!! My favorite :)
Honestly? I’d put the Twilight set in TOTK on the list. The tunic and trousers aren’t hard, but in order to get the Cap of Twilight, you have to defeat a King Gleeok, aka the hardest mini boss in the game, aside from Lynels.
Yeah......I'll admit, I cheesed that.......I found the trousers and the tunic on my own, but was having difficulty finding the cap. A friend of mine told me he had the whole set when we were hanging out one time, so I asked him where the cap was. He told me.......and I promptly whipped out my Twilight Princess Link Amiibo when I got home, used it and got the cap. I'm not too fond of fighting Gleeoks, and was all too happy to go about getting that cap the way I did if it meant avoiding that fight.......I got all the other formerly Amiibo exclusive armor and weapons without using them, though, so there's that......
Just use an Amiibo.
